Replacing wood shavings in floor with fiberglass in summer cottage?

[Fredrik_1976]

Hi!
I'm renovating a summer cottage of 18 m2.
Considering insulation in the floor. Today, there are 14-15 cm of wood shavings.
I know that the shavings have about half the insulating ability compared to fiberglass.
We want to use the cottage a few weekends in winter, e.g., Christmas and New Year.
What do you think, will there be any noticeable difference if we replace the shavings?

Hello!
I am renovating a summer cottage of 18 m2.
I am considering insulation for the floor. Today there are 14-15 cm of kutterspån.
I know that the spånet has about half the insulating ability compared to glass wool.
We plan to use the cottage for a few weekends in the winter, e.g., Christmas and New Year's.
What do you think, will there be any noticeable difference if we replace the spånet?

No.

But if the spånet has settled, it might be appropriate to supplement or replace it if the floor is being replaced.

do not change. there is more often moisture damage in glass wool when the cabin is unheated

Another option is wood fiber insulation. If it is an old summer cottage where there are mice, it is definitely an option as they do not like the fire retardant.
